UNSPSC 10217949: Live nelsonii hippeastrum

Live plant including the root ball of the nelsonii variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10217949 Live nelsonii hippeastrum is a Commodity code for a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show little alignment with the nominal code scope. The opportunities on record reflect general landscape and ecological restoration work — coastal dune stabilization using native plants, roadside median landscaping and irrigation, environmental site monitoring and invasive species removal, and general plant procurement for municipal operations — rather than purchases of live nelsonii hippeastrum specifically. The issuing bodies include county commissions (Collier County, Pasco County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County), a city (Dallas), and special-purpose districts, all pursuing landscape construction, environmental remediation, or facilities maintenance. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests the code may be a default classification rather than a precise descriptor of the commodities sought.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with Collier County, Pasco County, and Pinellas County representing the largest recent opportunities. Representative solicitations include Pasco County's Invitation for Bid No. KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (2.95 miles) with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and bids due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings involving supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants with bids due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's five-year Request for Proposal for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting and maintenance services (2025–2030) with an SBE work-assignment threshold of $100,000 and proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for general plant purchase with bids due February 3, 2026. The code shows activity but with limited scope clarity and no confirmation that live nelsonii hippeastrum is a material component of any recent procurement.
